A tall Twigget?

"She-Ra and the surprise party" is the Ladybird book that has grown on me over the course of the last few years. Artist Terry Gabbey's style was far removed from regular artist Robin Davies', but it was a refreshing take on the cast of She-Ra. In this interesting illustration we see what appears to be a tall Twigget. The Twiggets were always illustrated as being incredibly small in stature, but this individual is clearly illustrated with the same proportions as a regular Etherian!

The other thing about this image is that, in terms of the character's design, it reinforces the idea of Madame Razz being a Twigget - although the colour scheme used here does slightly torpedo that idea at the same time! :)
